Jack Harris was the best air traffic controller in the business--until one plane crash cost him everything. His personal and professional fortunes wiped out, the only thing Jack has left is the haunting memory of the pilot's last words. Years later, a fierce storm cripples Phoenix and suddenly Jack is hurled back into the world he'd thought he'd left behind. Now he faces the impossible: forget the past and safely land dozens of planes carrying hundreds of passengers--with no radar, no contact, and no control. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

A bland genre hybrid that carries all the standard clichés of its genre. Ground Control works neither as a disaster drama nor as a dramatic journey into the soul of a man who blames himself for a grave mistake. Moreover, there were too many "troubled" souls here at times, and the character development was cut off halfway, except for one instance. Instead of the expected tension with the endangered airport, it brought nothing but another dose of boredom. Even Kiefer Sutherland's enjoyable and down-to-earth performance couldn't elevate the mediocre level of the film, whose premise promised much more potential than what was ultimately wasted. It appears that there was a missed opportunity in both the screenplay and direction, making this a prime example of an "unnecessary film."
